The World Cup is fast becoming as recognised for bad officiating as it is for sensational goals and surprising upsets and Bosnia are the latest side to be on the receiving end of a poor decision.

Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko raced through on Nigeria’s goal during the first half of their Group F clash and placed the ball coolly past Vincent Enyeama, but was wrongly adjudged to have been offside when Miralem Pjanic played him in.

And the decision was made all the worse for Bosnia minutes later when Peter Odemwingie fired past Stoke City team-mate Asmir Begovic.

Dzeko had a shot turned onto the post by Enyeama in the dying seconds but Nigeria held on to send Bosnia out of the World Cup.
